Gretchen Parlato - The Wise Ones (CD) PREORDER
The Wise Ones is the new album from Gretchen Parlato, one of the defining vocalists of her generation.
The Wise Ones marks the return of acclaimed vocalist Gretchen Parlato, one of the defining voices in contemporary jazz.

Guest appearances from Becca Stevens, Amber Navran, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Josh Mease create an intergenerational dialogue, bringing together artists influenced by Parlato alongside the singer herself. Throughout the album, spacious arrangements, subtle grooves, and understated performances allow the songs to explore themes of personal evolution, memory, and acceptance while showcasing Parlato's distinctive phrasing, intimate tone, and remarkable rhythmic sensitivity.
